Paytyn

Paytyn is a modern, phonetic interpretation of the English surname Peyton, which itself derives from a place name meaning 'Paecca's town.' This suggests origins in a settlement established by someone named Paecca, likely in Anglo-Saxon England. The modern spelling emerged at the turn of the 21st century, a fresh take on an old foundation, rapidly gaining traction in the United States.
